Reviving Trope-tan

Go To

The page is now live! Trope-tan

As said here: Trope-tan is a cute concept, but her design has always struck me as busy/outdated/not befitting the Moe Anthropomorphism look. Would the community be open to a potential redesign and/or full update of the page? I've drawn the current design before, but I didn't want to start thinking about making changes before running it by the community and seeing if this is even something plausible first.

The first thing that comes to mind is that, since it's a gijinka design, I'd probably like for it to use more anime-oriented tropes than it already does, and make the design more visually cohesive and less chaotic and disorganized.

If a total revamp isn't plausible right now, maybe at least a new, cleaner image could be provided of the current design?

Edit: Here's the sandbox for the new and improved Trope-tan page, and it's open for edits, new ideas, and designs for "offshoot" Trope-tans such as Sugar Wiki. Feel free to contribute, suggest ideas for uses for the new Trope-tan, and give feedback!

This is a Gilligan Cut-styled "origin story" for her, and this is a blank "advice banner" template.

[up][up] Hehe, I was thinking of a Triple Baka parody starring those three as well, including those exact same roles! Strange Minds Think Alike, I guess.

A silly idea I have: Rule 63 designs for the trio so we can see what Trope-kun, Darth-kun, and Sugar-kun would look like.

Well, we'd want to keep colors and weapons, right?

~WackyPancake, care to explain why we don't need Trope-tan, let alone a redesign?

Please don't resurrect this thread just to start conflict. People are entitled to their opinion, and if someone doesn't like the project, that's OK.

Masde some contributions. The page actually looks ready to swap.

This is great, thank you!! I think the last thing I'm concerned about is how/if we can include all the extra art, templates and so on that were created. Maybe a separate folder?

Also, how should I deal with the old page? Just replace it wholesale? Archive it somewhere?

Should we archive the old Trope-tan page somewhere?

Is that a namespace that's in use?

Yeah, there are plenty of Archive/ pages. They're all locked and protected from any new edits. Like Archive.Ask The Tropers.

I am fine with archiving as that's probably the cleanest way to separate the old content from the new.

I’m gonna create Archive.Trope Tan Classic if that’s OK with everyone.

Thanks! I think the best way to incorporate fanart would probably be an Image Links page, but then again, that overlooks the "official"-looking stuff I (and some others) made. Maybe we can just hold onto it until there's a place to put them. tongue
